Nice! There don't seem to be many P. pinaster cv's or brooms around. Same for P. halepensis and pinea. Is this because people prefer playing 'pétanque' in this country,rather than stare at the trees??? T.

The reason is most likely that broom hunters haven't explored the Mediterranean regions to any great extent, and in the case of pinaster brooms, I can add from experience that many have been found but not successfully propagated, because of there dislike for sylvestris understocks

Perhaps not too surprising as they're not particularly closely related. Try grafting on P. halepensis seedlings instead, they're very easy to germinate.

Those are P. halepensis, of course.
